The Weather

It’s snowing cats and dogs…. or something.

It’s so bad out there, the wheels of democracy have crawled to a stop.

So the Governor has to step in.

Rendell extended the filing deadline, which applies to candidates for Congress and the state Legislature as well as party offices, from 5 p.m. Tuesday until noon Thursday, citing traffic problems caused by snow and ice across the state. Rendell’s executive order did not extend the deadline for candidates to collect petition signatures but did give them extra time to deliver them to Harrisburg.

“I moved the date until Thursday because the weather forecast (Wednesday) could also cause problems,” Rendell said in a statement.
